Islam

QuranicPath"In numerous Verses of the Qur'an, Allah tells us that He has created everything, including human beings, in the most perfect form. In the following verse, Allah explicitly states this with regards to the human creation: "We have indeed created man in the 'best of moulds'." (Qur'an 95:4) This means when a baby leaves the mother's womb, he or she is in the most perfect of shape down to the finest detail. Nothing needs alteration."

The American Muslim"Muhammad wasn’t circumcised, and most Muslim scholars agree Muslims don’t actually have to be either."

Just Islam"The Quran has no mention of circumcision. It makes no request for circumcision of men or women. In numerous verses of the Qur'an, Allah tells us that he has created everything, including human beings, in the most perfect form."

The Quran and Its Message"Many Muslims never question whether this ritual has any basis in scripture (i.e. the Quran) or whether it is documented in early Islam practice. Instead, they blindly follow the traditions of their forefathers without rational thought, evidence or analysis subjecting their new born children to a part mutilation of their genitalia."

The Koran Against Circumcision"Circumcision does not figure amongst the 'five pillars' of Islam. It is not prescribed by Islamic law but only by the Sunna (custom), of debated authenticity, which reports the current discourse of the prophet, his thoughts as an ordinary man."
